Grocery shopping in Hua Hin, Thailand

Dutch people are like all other people in the world. We like our Dutch food. So when we can we take cheese, chocolate sprinklers, liquorice, etc. English people take their tea. And more examples are possible.

But there is no need to take these groceries. Hua Hin has 4 supermarkets, few bakeries, some butchers and wineries. But don't forget to visit the local markets for fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, chicken, meat, herbs, spices, etc.

The supermarkets are:



Big C Supermarket, Pa La U Road, Hua Hin, Thailand

Tesco Lotus in Market Village with a great selection of fresh vegetables, meat fish, bread, etc.
Villa Market, great wine selection.
G Hua Hin supermarket, for Chinese and Thai ingredients but also Dutch Coffee.
Big C with French products of the Casino brand.
And a small supermarket located within the shopping mall in the centre of Hua Hin.

Products of Casino brand in Big C Supermarket.

 

Tesco Lotus Supermarket is within 1.5 km form the wheelchair accessible holiday pool villas Coconut and Si Deang.

Villa Market is in the centre of Hua Hin.

G Hua Hin Supermarket is close to the wheelchair accessible apartment Tira Tiraa.

And Big C is within 5 minutes bike ride of Studio 74.







All supermarkets or the building where they are located have wheelchair accessible restrooms except G Hua Hin and the small supermarket. And they all have parking space for cars and motorbikes.

Velence, Hungary, roll in village

Most people know Hungary from its Gulyash and Budapest, the capital. Velence and Lake Velence is widely known for the recreational possibilities under Hungarian people. Hungary doesn't have beaches at a sea or ocean. It has lakes and rivers to enjoy.
And above wheelchair access in Hungary and in Velence is increasing very rapidly. The trains to Budapest and the Lake Balaton are wheelchair accessible with level entrance to the trains at Velence Station. So you have an easy ride to Buapest. The station is located at 2km from the adapted holiday home for disabled with roll in shower from Gehandicapten.com. You can either walk / ride or drive your car and park at the parking for free.

Are you curious? You like to meet Velence and Lake Velence and see what they have to offer you when you come here for an accessible holiday? Take a look at my new photoalbum. These pictures are taken during a stroll in Velence and Lake Velence and a short car ride along the lakeside villages. Below is one of these pictures.

Hungary, wheelchair at Lake Velence

Hungary, land of peppers, garlic and onions. But also land of beautiful lakes, gipsy music and part of the European Union. Changing fast in a modern community with wheelchair access.

One of the lakes in Hungary is Lake Velence. A small shallow lake, partly nature reserve, and partly a favorit destination for tourists and local people. Lake Velence has very pleasant water temperatures. So in springtime it is already busy at the lakeside with walkers, bikers, swimmers, wakeboarders, etc.
A smooth bike path around the lake gives handbikers, mobility scooter drivers and wheelchair users the opportunity to enjoy the lake the way they can.

To show you this Lake and all the things you can do around here watch this movie.

Accessible Bangkok beats London

Bangkok has narrowly beaten London as the world's top tourism destination in terms of visitor arrivals, according to the "MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index 2013". Paris, Singapore and New York fill the next three places.

In Asia, Bangkok is followed in the rankings by Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo.

The MasterCard study was conducted in 132 cities, with collated data from private and government sectors worldwide from last year through to the end of March this year.

It also collected data on travellers' spending from their arrival in a city destination, as well as cross-border expenditure. It was not based on MasterCard volume or transactional data.
